5 Lo asinguye na uDavide, ababevuma ngaye ekungqungqeni, besithi,USawule ubulele amawaka akhe,UDavide ubulele amawaka akhe angamashumi?
6 UAkishe wambiza uDavide, wathi kuye, Ehleli nje uYehova, ùthe tye wena; kùhle emehlweni am ukuphuma kwakho nokungena kwakho nam emkhosini; ngokuba andifumananga bubi kuwe, kuthabathela kumhla wokuza kwakho kum, kuzise kule mini; ke emehlweni ezikhulu akumhle.
7 Ke ngoko buya, uhambe unoxolo, ungenzi bubi emehlweni ezikhulu zamaFilisti.
8 Wathi uDavide kuAkishe, Ndenzé ntoni na? Ùfumene ntoni na kumkhonzi wakho, kuthabathela kumhla wokubakho kwam phambi kwakho, kuzise kule mini, ukuba ndingayi nje, ndilwe neentshaba zenkosi yam ukumkani?
9 Waphendula uAkishe wathi kuDavide, Ndiyazi ukuba ùlungile emehlweni am njengesithunywa sikaThixo; kodwa abathetheli bamaFilisti bathe, Makangenyuki nathi, aye ekulweni.
10 Ngoko vuka kusasa ngomso, nabakhonzi benkosi yakho abazé nawe; nivuke kusasa ke ngomso, kwakusathi nwe, nihambe.
11 Bavuka ke kusasa uDavide, yena namadoda akhe, bahamba kwakusasa, babuyela ezweni lamaFilisti. AmaFilisti enyuka ke, aya eYizereli.
